Lycans, in folklore and fiction, encompass a wide range of interpretations. At its core, a lycan is a being with the ability to transform between human and animal form. While commonly associated with werewolves, lycanthropy can extend beyond just wolves, allowing the transformation into various other animals. In some lore, a lycan may refer to a shape-shifter who takes on the form of a specific animal, often with ties to the moon or lunar cycles. This diversity of interpretations underscores the rich and varied nature of lycanthropic myths across different cultures and literary traditions.
